In order to avoid the separation process of fine titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst at the end of the treatment, a simple and effective method was explored to immobilize TiO2 nanoparticles on a support material. In this paper, the effectiveness of using immobilized TiO2 supported on glass plates to remove Basic Blue 3 (BB3) and Reactive Orange (RO16) from single and binary dye solutions was investigated. The photocatalytic degradation of both dyes was investigated under the illumination of either UV or sunlight. The percentage of dye removal increased with increasing irradiation time and the maximum number of dip coatings that can be applied was ten. For all the dye solutions studied, the percentage of dye removal decreased with increasing number of usage of immobilized TiO2. Due to the ease of usage and good photocatalytic efficiency, the findings showed the potential application in decolouring organic dyes for pollution prevention.

Almond shell (AS) is a low-cost adsorbent used in this study for the removal of methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV), and Congo red (CR) from an aqueous solution in single and mixture binary systems. The low-cost adsorbent was characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis. The effects of AS dose, contact time, initial dye concentration, pH, and temperature on MB, CV, and CR adsorption were studied in a single system. In a binary system, the MB, CV, and CR were removed from the mixture of MB+CR, CV+MB, and CV+CR with a percentage in volume ranging from 0 to 100 % in MB and CV, and CR. Kinetic studies showed rapid sorption following a second-order kinetic model with of contact time of 10 min. The modulation of adsorption isotherms showed that retention follows the Langmuir model. The thermodynamic parameters proved that the MB, CV, and CR adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous, and exothermic. The synergy adsorption between dyes in a binary mixture of MB+CR and CV+CR, while the competition adsorption between dyes in a binary mixture of MB+ CV.

In this research, it has been performed carbon activation of oil palm shells (CAC) prepared by chemical treatment as adsorbents of phenol and methylene blue (MB) in solution either in the form of single or in pair solution. The activation of carbon from the oil palm shells was done physically at a temperature of 700°C for 1 hour continued with chemical activation using 10% H3PO4 for 24 hours. Identification of functional groups on the carbon from oil palm shell before and after chemically activated was performed using infrared spectrophotometer (IR) and analysis of its surface morphology was carried out using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The phenol and MB adsorption process was performed in single and binary systems using the batch method. The adsorption of phenol on CAC is optimum at pH 8 while MB at pH 11 with optimum contact time of 90 min for phenol and 120 min for MB respectively. The phenol and MB adsorption data on the CAC in the single system follow the pseudo-second-order kinetics model with the adsorption rate constant of 0.399 and 0.769 g mmol-1 min-1 respectively. The adsorption isotherms of phenol and MB in CAC tend to follow Freundlich adsorption isotherm pattern with the adsorption intensity factor (n) for phenol, MB, phenol/MB, and MB/phenol: 1.739, 1.341, 1.334, and 1.293 respectively. The adsorbent of CAC is effective to remove phenol and MB in solution, either in single or paired condition.
